After they sat around looking over the little cubs that had just been born, Lin Fan suddenly realized a problem.
Names.
It wasn’t just names for the new cubs, but rather names for all his pets.
Lin Fan had completely forgotten to give names to all the pets that he had tamed…
It seemed like he had been too preoccupied with his own matters that he had forgotten to consider the matters of his pets.
That was his mistake as a beast tamer and he reflected on it. It wasn’t something that he could do over, but at the very least, he could come up with some names for them now.
So after giving it some thought, Lin Fan started with the Snow Rabbit that he tamed first.
“Shiro.”
That was the name that he gave the Snow Rabbit for its pure white coat of fur.
Then there was the horse that was the second animal that he tamed.
“Hi.”
This was the name he gave to the Gehenna Horse after it had evolved for its flames.
“Fubuki and Fuyuki.”
These were the snow based names that he gave the female and male White Wolves respectively.
“Nobume and Yuuki.”
And finally, these were the names that he gave to the female and male White Wolf cubs. Hope and courage, that was what he wanted to have these two represent.
This was a very simple process, but by the end of it, all of Lin Fan’s pets’ affections increased because of it. After all, receiving a name from Lin Fan definitely made them feel much closer to Lin Fan.
After this simple bonding session, Lin Fan, Xiao Yue, Shiro, and Hi all left the two White Wolves with their cubs. After all, these parents needed some alone time with their children now that they had been born.
Lin Fan turned his attention to the Inferno Swans that were placed on the side which had been his goal the entire time. The reason that he had come into the Pet Storage Space in the first place was to butcher up the corpses of the Inferno Swans that he had killed.
It was a good thing that they were spirit beasts, so their corpses were still infused with spiritual energy that prevented them from rotting. At the same time, there was an automatic filtering system in the Pet Storage Space that prevented them from being covered in germs which helped prevent the corpses from spoiling.
Lin Fan had planned on doing it alone, but since Xiao Yue was also here, he decided to get her to help him. After all, he had learned how to do this from Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue was from a farming village, so things like this were normal for her and she was actually quite good at stuff like this.
She had taught Lin Fan how to do this during the time that they had been traveling, so it was actually Lin Fan’s first time butchering a spirit beast. However, he was confident in his abilities since as a cultivator, his control of his hand and his knife was better than most normal people’s.
However, when he finally actually started butchering the Inferno Swan, he realized that he had completely overestimated his own abilities.
If it wasn’t for Xiao Yue at his side who pointed out all the mistakes that he made, he would have certainly completely destroyed the first Inferno Swan corpse that he was working on. It was so bad that if he hadn’t been careful, he would have already cut the Inferno Swan corpse to pieces instead of being able to butcher it.
Thankfully Xiao Yue had been by his side, guiding him through the entire process.
By the time that they had finished this, another hour had already passed and it was starting to get late.
Since it was getting late, it was unlikely they would be able to get back to the city before the gates closed for the night, so they decided not to rush back for the off chance that they would be able to make it. Instead, they chose to camp outside.
Of course, they couldn’t just stay in this region since it was a place that was filled with dangerous spirit beasts and pools of magma, so they decided to head out to the forest around this area instead. They used the final bit of sunlight that they had to find a lake in the forest right outside the magma region.
This was a good thing since they were actually covered in blood because they had been butchering the Inferno Swan.
They had water that they had bought from the city in the Pet Storage Space, but it would be a waste if they used that to clean since that was all clean drinking water.
They scooped up some water from the lake with the wooden wash tub that they had bought and then brought it into the Pet Storage Space for the Gehenna Horse to heat up. After it was heated up, the tub was placed inside of the tent that they had also bought and they took turns washing up.
While they could have taken a bath together, it still felt awkward for them to do this even though they had already seen each other naked.
It almost felt like crossing a line that they shouldn’t cross yet.
After they were all finished washing up, Lin Fan and Xiao Yue went over to check on the White Wolves.
The two White Wolves were still there looking after their cubs. However, they were no longer alone as both Shiro and Hi had gone over to play with the cubs that had woken up sometime during their bath.
It had to be said, these cubs really grew fast since they were already running around a few hours after they had been born.
But this was just how it was with spirit beasts.
Compared to normal beasts, these spirit beasts grew stronger countless times faster and some with higher levels of cultivation would even be able to function normally as soon as they were born.
While Xiao Yue went over to play with Shiro, Hi, and the cubs, Lin Fan went over to where Fubuki was still resting up.
He opened up Fubuki’s status window and after making sure that the HP bar was still slowly increasing, he patted and comforted her before turning to Fuyuki. Seeing how Fuyuki was doing all he could to make his wife comfortable, Lin Fan had a trace of disdain appear in his eyes before he suddenly revealed a bitter smile and shook his head.
He just patted Fuyuki on the back of the head before saying, “Good luck.”
After that, he walked away in front of Fuyuki’s confused look without saying anything else.
He went over to where the cubs were and he also played with them for a bit.
He had to admit, these cubs were the cutest things that he had seen and his heart melted when he ran around with them. Then when they stuck out their little tongues to lick his face, he almost died of diabetes from how sweet it was.
But there was also another feeling that filled his heart when he looked at these cubs, one that was directed at Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue could see Lin Fan looking at her with that strange look and was confused, but then she slowly started having an idea of what he was thinking. As this thought appeared in her mind, her face couldn’t help revealing a faint blush.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Fan returned to the two tired cubs who were almost dozing off back to their mother before heading over to Xiao Yue.
He put a hand over her shoulder and said, “How about we go to bed as well?”
Another blush came over her face when Lin Fan’s hand came over her shoulder, but she didn’t get the implied meaning behind his words. Xiao Yue just gave a nod and said, “Alright.”
The two of them left the animals outside to their own thing while heading into the tent.
After entering the tent, the first thing Xiao Yue did was step forward to get into the blankets since it had been a long day.
However, before she could take a step forward, Lin Fan’s arms had already come around her wrist, pulling her into his embrace.
A deep blush appeared on her face as she turned to look at him and ask, “What are you doing?”
Lin Fan looked at her with a naughty smile and said, “The night is still young, how about we have some fun first?”
The blush on her face became even deeper as she said, “Wait, not here…”
But before she could keep going, Lin Fan had already leaned in to kiss her neck a few times before saying, “They can’t hear us and even if they do, does it really matter?”
Xiao Yue still resisted a bit as she said, “But…”
But once again, Lin Fan cut her off by saying, “Let’s do it, okay?”
Seeing the hopeful look on his face, she couldn’t say no to him. Not to mention that with the way he was holding her and how he was kissing her neck, she was already quite bothered…
So Xiao Yue said in a soft voice, “Okay.”
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan picked her up in a princess carry, bringing her over to the futon and blankets. After gently setting her down, he started taking off his clothes.
Once he was done, he leaned forward to start taking off her clothes as well as starting some foreplay.
It wasn’t long before Xiao Yue started getting wet down there and unconsciously letting out moans.
Lin Fan knew what he had to do at this point.
Then for a long time, there were only moans that could be heard from the tent.
It really was a long night.
